The news keeps getting worse south of the border, and more grisly every day.... and people keep letting their kids go there on spring break? Might as well go to Afghanistan, you'd have a better chance of not getting dead.

MEXICO CITY -- The severed heads of eight men were found left in pairs along highways in the northern Mexico state of Durango, state prosecutors said Tuesday.

The bodies had not yet been located, but the victims appeared to have been between 25 and 30 years old, officials said.

Durango has been the scene of brutal turf battles between drug gangs. Prosecutors said over the weekend that officials at a Durango prison let drug cartel gunmen to leave penitentiary and lent them guns and vehicles to carry out executions.

Also Tuesday, prosecutors in the central state of Puebla reported that three federal police agents were shot to death on a highway in a confrontation with gunmen. The assailants escaped.
